Terms of Service
Effective & last updated
The short version. Water Calculator's tools and content are free to use for your own information and planning. They are careful and well-sourced, but they are planning aids, not professional advice, and we can't guarantee they fit every situation. Use them at your own discretion, and for anything structural, financial, medical, legal, or safety-critical, confirm with a qualified professional.
Acceptance of these terms
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the website at watercalculator.us, operated by Water Calculator (“we”, “us”) from New York, United States. By accessing or using the site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
Use of the site
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the site and its calculators for your own lawful, informational purposes. The site is provided free of charge, and no account is required.
Our calculators are planning aids, not professional advice
Our calculators and accompanying content are provided for general information and planning only. They are not professional engineering, construction, financial, medical, legal, regulatory, or safety advice, and they do not replace site-specific testing, measurement, or the judgement of a licensed professional on an actual project.
Results depend on the inputs and assumptions you provide and on standard reference values that may not match your specific circumstances. You are responsible for verifying any result before relying on it for a decision that affects safety, property, cost, or compliance.
No warranties
The site and everything on it are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of accuracy, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. While we work hard to keep our calculators accurate and well-sourced, we do not warrant that they will be error-free, uninterrupted, or suitable for your particular use.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Water Calculator and its contributors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss arising from your use of — or inability to use — the site or its calculators, or from reliance on any result or content, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.
Acceptable use
You agree not to misuse the site — including by attempting to disrupt or compromise it, accessing it through automated means in a way that burdens our infrastructure, scraping or bulk-copying content except as permitted below, or using it for any unlawful purpose.
Intellectual property
The site's content — including text, explanations, calculators, code, design, and the Water Calculator name and logo — is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. You may use and share our tools and read our content for personal, non-commercial purposes, and you may link to our pages. You may not republish, redistribute, or build a competing product from substantial portions of our content or code without our written permission.
Third-party links and advertising
Our pages may link to third-party websites and sources for reference, and may display third-party advertising or affiliate links. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, products, or practices of third parties, and a link or advertisement is not an endorsement. Your dealings with third parties are solely between you and them.
Changes to the site and these terms
We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the site at any time, and we may update these Terms from time to time. When we update them, we will revise the “last updated” date above. Your continued use of the site after a change means you accept the revised Terms.
Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to the site or these Terms will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New York, United States, except where applicable law provides otherwise.
